Sight Word Games for our Little Baseball Fans

Oh…it’s summertime!  It’s pretty important to keep our little ones engaged and there’s no better way to do that than to use games and activities.  Here’s a fun little baseball-themed activity for practicing the Dolch 220 sight words.  I love this game because it’s fast-paced and offers tons of opportunities for practice.  To assemble this game, simply print the baseballs single-sided to double-sided and cut them out.  Players take turns choosing baseballs and reading the words.  Pick a “Home Run!” ball and the player can pick a few more balls, but choose the “You’re Out!” ball, and all the balls must be put back into the pile.   Super easy to assemble and the kids absoulutely love it. The Home Run! for the Dolch 220 sight words can be downloaded from my TpT
